After walking Lorraine to the door and watching him walk away, a few small figures in the room poked their heads out.

"Mom, who is that person?" the little girl in the lead asked.

It was the first time for her to see an adult respecting a child, and she also saw that Lorraine had no pretensions.

That's what made her feel weird.

"I don't know either." Jieting whispered the address that Lorraine told her just now.

She hasn't worked as a maid for a long time, and even if she told her address, she doesn't know which noble family it is, and Lorraine didn't say her surname.

After the children's father comes back in the evening, let him inquire about it when he has time, and he should be able to find out.

Walking on the road without any modification, Lorraine took a breath.

Apparently, it was a good idea to come here today. At least I learned some things that I didn't know before.

He knew that Xueni had always been alone when she was a child, but he really didn't know what Jie Ting said.

Without this understanding, according to Xueni's temperament, she would never have told Lorraine.

In Xueni's words, just be good now.

Thinking of this, Lorraine shook her head and smiled.

When he was about to reach the corner where he asked the guards to wait, even Lorraine was not sure if it was his illusion. On the street with fewer people, a figure with a cloak suddenly appeared beside it.

Wearing this thing at night will make people feel strange, let alone it is daytime.

Feeling a little weird, Lorraine quickened his pace a little, wanting to quickly pass by this person.

But just as he was about to walk over, a strange scene appeared.

The footsteps that were moving forward just now stopped suddenly, as if stuck to the ground.

Lorraine looked down and saw that it was not raining, but the ground under his feet suddenly became muddy, dragging his feet down.

Lorraine thought that it was impossible for him to see the muddy road ahead and deliberately walk over it.

A slightly humid vapor appeared around her, which made Lorraine begin to feel something was wrong.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to make a sound, the man next to him with a cloak stepped forward and said coldly, "Shut up, or I'll be rude to you."

Lorraine looked at the man wearing the cloak. This man was slightly taller than himself, but under the shadow of the cloak, he couldn't see any appearance of this man at all.

It gives people a sense of horror that no one exists under the cloak.

The voice couldn't tell whether the person was male or female.

"What do you want to do?" Lorraine looked at the man walking up warily.

Kidnapping noble children for ransom was rare in the royal capital, but that didn't mean it didn't happen.

But even if he could tell that he was an heir of a nobleman, and he didn't know which nobleman he was, even if he was kidnapped, it would be completely useless, and would cause unnecessary trouble instead.

And, does this water vapor also belong to magic?Lorraine always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

The man in the cloak didn't answer, and stopped after approaching Lorraine for a certain distance.

"Want to solve the current problem?"

"What do you mean?"

This person seems to know his current situation.

The man in the cloak raised his hand slightly, and a Warcraft core with a faint luster appeared in his hand.

It's just that from the perspective of Lorraine beside him, this thing seems to have appeared out of thin air.

"Why..." Lorraine was a little surprised. This magic beast core was somewhat similar to the one that Romon gave to him at that time.

If it weren't for the faint luster still shining on it at this moment, Lorraine would have thought it might be the same one.

Regardless of Lorraine's reaction, the man in the cloak said, "Soak it in the blood of one of the two of you, and it can help a person recover."

Lorraine was a little skeptical. Whether it was the person in front of him or the monster core, there was an indescribable strangeness.

Seeing Lorraine froze on the spot without moving, the man in the cloak seemed a little impatient, "Do you want it?"

After thinking about it, Lorraine still took the Warcraft core.

"It's so cold."

As soon as Lorraine got the Warcraft Core, he felt the cold temperature on it and almost threw it out of his hand.

This didn't happen the last time I got another Warcraft core.

Could it be the reason for taking it out of this person?

Lorraine looked away from the monster core and wanted to ask the man in the cloak why he did this.

But when he looked over, the figure who was standing next to him just a second ago had disappeared.

This situation, even in broad daylight, still made Lorraine feel a chill down his spine.

Subconsciously took a step back, and found that the muddy feeling on his feet had disappeared.

"what happened?"

Looking at the wet soil left on the shoes, Lorraine felt more and more weird.

But judging from what the man said just now, it seemed that he was here to help him.

Putting away the monster core, Lorraine walked to the corner and saw the guard standing there waiting for him.

"Did you see a man in a cloak just now?" Lorraine asked.

"Ah? No, Your Highness." The guard was puzzled, not understanding why Lorraine would ask this question.

Lorraine couldn't figure it out, what kind of supernatural event did he encounter just now?

"Did you meet any strange people?"

"It's just..." Lorraine originally wanted to talk about what he had just experienced, but after thinking about it, he said, "It's okay, let's go back."

The situation just now was too inexplicable, even if I wanted to tell it, I felt it was very unreal.

When he was about to walk away, Lorraine deliberately turned back to look, but he still didn't see that figure again.

And on the roof of one place, the figure wearing a cloak was watching Lorraine below.

"Tch." There was a dissatisfied voice from under the cloak, and people could detect that the figure under the cloak was now in a state of anger.

A gust of wind suddenly blew, and the cloak was blown up and floated into the air, but there was no one there.

Chapter 49

Get under the covers

Although a strange thing happened on the way, Lorraine returned to Gretel's house in the evening.

It seemed that she had been vaccinated this time, or that Xueni's body was still in the recovery stage. Lorraine heard from the maids that Xueni was lying on the bed to rest well during his absence.

Even when Lorraine came back, she still looked sleepy and just woke up.

This also made Lorraine feel relieved a little.

It was exactly as Jieting said, when Lorraine showed the recipe to the maids, they said that things were easy to buy.

And because she agreed to Xueni, Lorraine will temporarily stay at Gretel's house today.

Naba didn't have any opinion on this either.

Rather, the entire Gretel family is so peaceful now, thanks to the presence of Lorraine.

Coupled with the relationship between Xueni and Lorraine, even if Lorraine wants to stay here for a long time, Naba will not say much, besides, there are still so many rooms in the mansion, and the vacant rooms are still vacant.

Sitting on the bed, Lorraine took out the magic beast core that he got inexplicably today.

Even if there weren't any candles lit in the whole room, it wasn't that dark under the faint glow of the Warcraft Core.

"Soak this thing with blood?" Lorraine remembered what the man in the cloak said.

Talking about using blood strikes Lorraine as if some sort of bad ritual is being performed.

But the more mysterious the person is, the more credible he feels to Lorraine.

Because that person made him feel like Tiante from the elf side.

You know she exists, but you have no way of knowing it.

However, Lorraine still couldn't figure out why that person wanted to help him.

Lorraine looked at the palm of his hand, trying to bite his finger and let the blood drip there to see the situation.

Before putting his finger to his mouth, Lorraine heard a sound from outside the door, and the door was slowly pushed open.

Seeing this, Lorraine put the monster core into the drawer of the bedside cabinet, then stood up and stood in the corner of the room.

There is no need to worry about thieves in Gretel's house. The maids will knock on the door first when they want to come in.

If he sneaks in like this, after thinking about it for a while, he can figure out who it is.

In the darkness, a figure poked its head out and looked into the inner room.

"Are you asleep?" Xue Ni asked in a low voice.

After a long pause, there was no response from the room, and then Xue Ni walked in.

She hugged the pillow in one hand, closed the door again with the other, and then walked towards the bed.

As if to make the sound of footsteps quieter, Xue Ni's feet were still bare.

But these actions of hers were clearly seen by Lorraine who was standing in the corner, and she had a look of wanting to sigh.

Under Lorraine's gaze, Xueni carefully got into the quilt from the end of the bed like a thief.

"Hey hey hey."

Standing there, Lorraine could hear the sound of Xue Ni coming out of the bed, and kept crawling towards the head of the bed.

After a while, Xue Ni got out of the bed again, and patted the bed blankly.

"Where are the people?" Xue Ni opened the quilt and found that there was no one inside.

I watched Lorraine walk into this room, but why is he not here now.

Just when Xueni was about to get out of bed to look for Lorraine, a voice came from beside the bed.

"Miss Xueni, what are you doing?"

"Find him."

Thinking it was a maid, Xue Ni answered subconsciously, but then felt something was wrong.

Before she could react, one side of her cheek was pinched by a small hand.

"Hmm." Xue Ni made a sound, and at the same time looked towards the direction where she was holding her hand, and saw Lorraine standing beside the bed at some point.

"Didn't I remind you to sleep honestly?" Lorraine let go of his hand and said.

Like a child who was about to cause trouble and was caught, Xueni was a little embarrassed, stepped back, and got into bed again.

"You didn't see anything, it was all a dream." Xue Ni's mysterious words came from the bed.

Only Lorraine, Xue Ni dared to play around like this.

Lorraine felt helpless, lifted up the quilt, pulled Xueni in front of her, and put a hand on her forehead.

The burning sensation has disappeared, and it has completely returned to normal.

"It seems that your spirit has recovered quite well today." Lorraine said.

"Hehe." Xue Ni smiled, not knowing how to answer.

At first Lorraine was worried about whether Xueni could not fall asleep because of the discomfort, but now it seems that she should be thinking too much, she just wants to get into her bed.

This happened often before.

"By the way." Lorraine said, "How do you feel after drinking that cup?"

After the maids bought what they needed, they cooked it for Xueni to drink.

Xueni thought for a while and said, "I don't know, it just tastes familiar, like I've drank it before."
